Take Your Time: An Archive of Re-Rendered Florentine Street Art

Take Your Time An Archive of Re-rendered Florentine Street Art

Brandon Pogrob

Take Your Time has two meanings.

•

The time taken to re-render these found street art images in gouache paint.

•

The necessity to take one’s time to notice the artworks scribbled on brick walls and on the metal screens pulled down over shop windows. Like the seemingly inconsequential doodles in an artist’s sketchbook that lead to finished pieces, these hastily-done works have the potential to be so much more.
